Hi Agogo. This will not be
re-
corded.
Here,
if
you
push
the
Instrument Selector
Button
# ,
Hi
Agogo
will stop. And if
pressed
again,
start.
(D
Tap
in
the
rhythm on
the Main Keys,
just as
you
did
when
playing
the keys
manually.
Remember,
you
are
writing
one bar
which
is
repeating.
*
The
shortest
timing
value
that
can
be
written
into
the
TR-727
is
16th
note
(
j^
).
Therefore,
if you
slow
the
tempo
to
make
writing
easier,
you
could
be
surprised
at
the result
when you
change
back
to
normal
tempo.
*
If you
make
an
error,
while the
rhythm is
still
running,
hold
down
the Clear
Button
®
,
then
push
the
Main
Key
belonging to
that
voice
until
that
voice
has
disappeared.
Then
write that
voice
again.
Even
if
you
make
many mistakes
at
this
stage,
you
will
soon
find it comes
easier.

Note
By
the
above
operation,
erasing the
Cabasa
will
erase
the
Maracas
and
vice-versa. This also
holds
true
for
the
Star
Chime/Quijada.

When
you
have
finished
writing, push the Stop/
Continue
Key.

If you
wish to
write accents, tap
in
the
rhythm
on
the
Accent Key
®
(=Enter
Key), just as
you
did
in the
above
procedure
(5)
.
Now,
the weaker
accents
have been written. To
write
stronger
accents,
try tapping in the exactly
same
timing as
you have
tapped. Tapping once
again
in the same
timing
will change
the
accents
to
weaker,
and so on.
Weaker accent
or stronger accent can be dis-
tinguished by
the Display's
response. The
"•"
mark
flashes
when weaker,
and glows steadily
when
stronger.
